EXCLUSIVE: Dipika Kakar reveals her co-stars felt insecure, says, ‘They had a alot of problems with me’

Dipika Kakar of Sasural Simar Ka fame graced the finale episode for Xtraordinary You. She opened up on her struggles and triumphs through the different phases. The rejections she faced, having emotional breakdowns. The actress even opened up on how she deals with trolls and dealing with rumours.

In an exclusive candid chat with Bollywood Bubble’s Bhavna Agarwal Dipika who made a career shift from being an air hostess to a television actress opened up on the hurdles she faced during her initial phase in the world of television; from insecure co-stars to helpful directors and crew she revealed all.

Dipika Kakar said, “Thankfully I have had very good directors, the associate director in my first show taught me many things but at the same time my co-stars whom I will not name had a lot of problems with me. Because I had come after a long time and the focus was on me. They had a lot of problems and they were quite insecure as they felt the show was being taken over from them by someone new. These were some of the things that I faced.”

“For If I did four scenes in a day with them there was always that bickering going on behind the scenes. I used to feel quite nervous but the director supported me the unit people supported me. Maybe because I have been an actor who has been closely bonded with the unit. Eventually, I realised that the co-stars come and go but the unit people meet each and every day. That is the reason I have always bonded strongly with the unit people.”

She even opened up on her emotional breakdowns. Dipika Kakar said, “In the first show I have had an emotional breakdown, definitely. As I could not understand where I am going wrong. There have been instances that I used to start work from the morning shift that went on till night 3 am, just because I could not get my dialogue right and had to give more than fifteen takes. So you know that entire pressure that everybody is looking at you. So in those trying times if someone looked tired or seen holding their head I used to feel that it is due to me.’

She added, “The good was the amount I learnt, the amount of hard work as an actor and the honesty that you shud put in. Good was the bonding with the unit, the environment on the set. On any daily soap set, the entire crew is like one big family and that is a good feeling. Bad is obviously the said unsaid rivalries that people have within their hearts. Sometimes spoken sometimes unspoken U can stand strong when u have a strong support system at home.”
